Esprit Picture & Video Thread

Very nice colours!

While I respect Magnus for what he does to chaos cars, I just got so tired when all they did was repeating the saying of Jeremy Clarkson, who by now have done more damage to Lotus then anything or anyone else. Unless of course, if one tries to live up to the old saying of bad commercial is better than no commercial.

Every single chaos car owner I know, have had far more trouble with their chaos car, than any Lotus owner I know of here in Denmark. Or did the guy on the show just learn to count to five?

It's pathetic to keep on repeating that load of crap from the old tv-show, and as we all know by now, Clarkson admitted that he found the Esprit to be a dar better car than the mustang or 928 in the Patagonia special show.

Anyway, it's good that people wish to alter a car to the better (personal thing), and put's an effort in it.

Kind regards,

jacques

Swung by to see the wife’s new best mates at Polar Helicopters...

Took the lads up the road for a quick ride, think they now require clean underwear.

It’ll be minimal, she’s an old hand with choppers.

Especially such a small one.

I stopped watching when he claimed the last models had a 6-speed gearbox...

Ag, but he is probably distracted by the problems he's going to face as he's said that for a HG he cannot just take the head off he instead has to drop the whole power-train out of the bottom. That will be an awful job, he's have to pretty much do it piece by piece.

Another one for the thread. ....Just to prove it runs okay after the last few weeks headaches !

My 97 Esprit V8 taken at the late Colin Chapmans home yesterday (Kettringham Hall) & former Team Lotus HQ ( hallowed ground indeed).

Did someone say Ketteringham Hall??????

[Guest modifiedv8engines]

Thats what I was aiming for Dave but the bloody gates were closed so the car park was my photo shoot location.

Came out okay all the same.

We were let in there by the Head of PR for Lotus - part of a magazine photo shoot.
